Delta mama blues
|
by Townes Van Zandt
|
|
Come away with me,
|
my little delta boy
|
I wanna be your delta mama for awhile
|
And if you stay you'll see
|
that I bring you lots of joy
|
I turn those little teardrops to a smile
|
|
Well, if you're blue don't cry
|
just wander right downtown
|
you can find your delta mama waitin' there
|
Well, I thought you knew that I
|
would never let you down
|
I can ease your mind and take away your cares
|
|
Come away with me,
|
my little delta boy
|
I wanna be your delta mama for awhile
|
And if you stay you'll see
|
that I bring you lots of joy
|
I turn those little teardrops to a smile
|
|
Well, if the grass goes brown
|
don't you hang your head too low
|
Well, there ain't no need for you to sit and pine
|
If you'll just ask around
|
I'm sure someone will know
|
just exactly what it takes to get you back to feelin fine
|
|
Well, if you don't know by now
|
what I've been tryin' so hard to say
|
Well my delta boy I'm afraid you're up to tight
|
but you take it slow and somehow
|
you come meandering out my way
|
and I'll take you in my arms and make it right
|
|
Ah, come away with me,
|
my little delta boy
|
I wanna be your delta mama for awhile
|
And if you stay you'll see
|
that I bring you lots of joy
|
I turn those little teardrops to a smile
|
